this opinion."
General Wood encounters an old dlffl
cultyln . trying, to sovn . the question of
tho fluctuation In the number of deser

desertions numbered 3,401. an Increase rif

plan, provides-that the first Increment ot

there Ih at present a vast shortage t
field artillery, not only for the Army, but.
fdr'the militia. The proper, proportion .of
field, gtin Is Lit per 1,000 cavalo .amj ln
tantfy, ahd on this basis there Is at pres
ent a deficit ot 213 guns or the material
for- these regiments in the rtgular ,at;my,
while the mllltln la short 617 guns.
Moreover, theri Is no' provision for ef
